Gainesville Florida 4 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:31,869 and in re yes astronomer for the Cincinnati Observatory 5 00:00:31,869 --> 00:00:36,210 we're here to help you find your way around the sky we know

major 8 00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:45,370 celestial lineup that's right thing 9 00:00:45,370 --> 00:00:49,640 two planets and two stars will form a conga line in the southern sky 10 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,409 plus the moon will salsa through the heavily dance next week 11 00:00:53,409 --> 00:00:57,699 but see our salsa James that such a bad not too bad 12 00:00:57,699 --> 00:01:01,920 and maybe just maybe you can catch it paving glimpse are the largest planet in 13 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,790 the Solar System 14 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:06,250 before waltzes of into the sunset all that

evening sky 17 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,460 it may be fading but it is still bright I'm talking about the planet jupiter 18 00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:23,810 and you can see it just above the western horizon after sunset 19 00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:28,009 duper is still the brightest object in the nighttime sky right now 20 00:01:28,009 --> 00:01:32,049 other than the moon in a few short weeks from our view on earth 21 00:01:32,049 --> 00:01:35,270 Jibril past behind the Sun and disappear from our 22 00:01:35,270 --> 00:01:39,549 evening skies and then a few weeks later it'll pop out in the morning skies 23 00:01:39,549 --> 00:01:42,969 just before sunrise now let's get to the lineup 24 00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:46,859 we're facing south at 11 p.m. and is Sunday June 25 00:01:46,859 --> 00:01:50,520 a let's highlight the four brightest star like object 26 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,049 who the moon is next to one of them on June 27 00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:58,600 8 that is but it'll move throughout the next week these four bright stars 28 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,259 actually two stars and two planets from left to right 29 00:02:02,259 --> 00:02:07,259 or east-west they are and Taris the Red Star marking the heart up Scorpius the 30 00:02:07,259 --> 00:02:07,960 Scorpion 31 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,260 then comes the beautiful red planet Saturn the one next to the moon is spike 32 00:02:12,260 --> 00:02:12,580 a 33 00:02:12,580 --> 00:02:16,800 the brightest star in the constellation Virgo the maiden and left in Pine 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,740 is the ruby red planet %uh war mars to keep them straight 35 00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:24,230 remember they're lined up star planet star 36 00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:29,670 plant and Tyrese is one of the largest stars in our corner the Galaxy 37 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:34,200 is a red supergiant about 620 late years for Merck 38 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,310 if we put our son next and Tyrese a 39 00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:41,070 I don't think our screen is big enough but can you see that little dot 40 00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:45,480 that is our star the Sun next to the giant heart on the Scorpion 41 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,510 and tarts now let's hop over to the next 42 00:02:48,510 --> 00:02:51,640 object in our lineup beautiful breathtaking fatter 43 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:55,230 to they can I someone looks like an ordinary yellow star 44 00:02:55,230 --> 00:02:58,720 is brighter than Antares but not nearly as bright as your 45 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,360 that's because Saturn is far from us about twice as far as Jupiter 46 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,750 but when you look through even a modest telescope then you can behold saturns 47 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:08,420 glory 48 00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:13,340 how those rings over 200,000 miles from tip to tip 49 00:03:13,340 --> 00:03:16,470 saturns huge way bigger than here 50 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:20,900 but compared to our son and Antares its at tiny gem in the bath 51 00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:26,260 space you've probably been seeing spike a and Mars in the nighttime sky for the 52 00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:27,440 past two months 53 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,930 back in April they appeared much closer together but now 54 00:03:30,930 --> 00:03:34,900 they're separated by almost 13 to greet keep an eye on these two 55 00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:39,870 because as June continues Mars will again get closer and closer to spike 56 00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:44,130 each night and on the night of July 13th Mars will be just a little 57 00:03:44,130 --> 00:03:49,160 over one degree from spike and that's why this lineup this week is so special 58 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,300 with both mars and Saturn wandering around it won't last for long 59 00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,300 speak and wondering what's the move going to do this week 60 00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,200 well June aight that'll be near spike a on June 9 61 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,120 ill have shifted closer to stagger then on June 10 62 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,230 the moon will be on the other side Saturn and june eleventh 63 00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:12,100 ill be above and Tyrese so as darkness falls this week 64 00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:15,220 look for Jupiter in the western sky later 65 00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:19,199 after the rest in starr's pop out look south for the conga line of stars and 66 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,690 planets remember 67 00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:24,400 that it goes star planet star plant Antares 68 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,690 Satter spike a and Mark there's a lot to see this week when you 69 00:04:28,690 --> 00:04:52,919 keep looking up 70 00:04:52,919 --> 00:04:57,919 ok
